Waterweed

Waterweed is a food plant that produces Lettuce. It grows naturally in Tide Pool Biome.

Food
Each harvest produces 12 kg, 4800 kcals Lettuce which is edible raw, or can be further cooked into Mushroom Wrap or Frost Burgers.

Growth
Waterweed requires temperature range of 22 ↔ 65 °C. Waterweed must be submerged in a single tile of Water, Salt Water or Brine. The lower tile must have a pressure of less than 1045 kg, and the upper tile must be in gas or vacuum; otherwise the Waterweed will be "Too Wet" and will not grow.

Wild
A wild Waterweed takes 48 cycles to grow to maturity.

Domestic
A domestic Waterweed takes 12 cycles to grow to maturity.

Waterweed can be planted in Planter Box, Farm Tile or Hydroponic Farm. It needs to be fertilized with 500 g/cycle Bleach Stone and 5 kg/cycle Salt Water irrigation.

The only way to sustainably grow domesticated Waterweed is by ranching Squeaky Pufts and utilizing Salt Water Vent's output. Luckily, the weakest possible vent can support up to 240 plants, although water desalination might cut into that, and even one Squeaky Puft can support up to 57 plants.

Decor
A Waterweed has a decor value of 10 with 1 tile radius.
